“My partner needed a kidney. I went in to see if I was a match—and I was a perfect match. There was no hesitation at all.”

Few people understand the tight bonds that form amongst law enforcement families after years of service together in their communities.

Democrats care more about scoring political points than the safety and security of the American people—and it’s shameful.
 
America deserves leaders who serve THEM, not selfish political theater.

Plan B.

This creature will be the reason crooked Democrats will be able to win the midterms.

And when they do, they will impeach President Trump, nuke the filibuster, and install mail-in voting scams for generations to come.

WATCH LIVE: President Donald J. Trump holds a press briefing on the Supreme Court's tariff decision

POTUS: "The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and I'm ashamed of certain members of the court—absolutely ashamed—for not having the courage to do what's right for our country... Democrats on the court are thrilled, but they will automatically vote no... they're against anything that makes America, strong, healthy, and Great Again. They also are a, frankly, disgrace to our nation."

"The good news is that there are methods, practices, statutes, and authorities, as recognized by the entire court in this terrible decision... that are even stronger than the IEEPA tariffs available to me as President of the United States."

"Other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones that the Court incorrectly rejected."

"To show you how ridiculous the opinion is, however, the Court said that... I can’t charge one dollar to any country under IEEPA... but I am allowed to cut off any and all trade or business with that same country."

POTUS: Our country is the hottest country anywhere in the world right now, and it was a dead country 1.5 years ago...But now, I’m going to go in a different direction—probably the direction that I should've gone the first time...which is even stronger than our original choice.

🚨"Effective immediately, all national security tariffs under Section 232 and existing Section 301 tariffs remain in place... Today, I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122 over and above our normal tariffs already being charged."

POTUS: "You gotta do what's right for the Constitution. That's why I respect, so much, Justices Thomas, and Alito, Kavanaugh — because they not only dissented, their dissent is so strong... as Justice Kavanaugh said... you have other ways you can go."

"I've been waiting for this decision so long... We waited months, and that gave uncertainty. Now, we have certainty — and I think you're going to see the country get much stronger because of it."

POTUS nukes Fake News loser and serial liar KristenhCNN: "I don't talk to CNN. It's Fake News." 🤣

POTUS: "We're doing something in a different way... and we're using things that some people thought we should've used in the first place... but the end result is going to get us more money."

POTUS: "Just so you understand — we have tariffs. We just have them in a different way, and now they've been confirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States.... And we'll be taking in hundreds of billions of dollars."

POTUS: "We've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars... and so, I say, 'What happens to all of the money that we took in?' It wasn't discussed. Wouldn't you think they would've put one sentence in there saying keep the money or don't keep the money?"

USTradeRep Ambassador Greer: "We have a lot of tools out there. We have Section 122, which will be signed today... We have Section 301 investigations... we're going to keep addressing this so that the deficit can keep going down."

REPORTER: The Supreme Court Justices who ruled against the tariffs, are they still invited to your State of the Union?

POTUS: "Yeah, they are invited — barely... Three are happily invited... Honestly, I couldn't care less if they come." 🤣

Honored to cast my vote today for Joan Huffman in the Republican primary for Texas Attorney General. She is someone who supports law enforcement in word and deed.

Unlike Chip Roy who spent his time in Congress actively blocking the “Protect and Serve Act” which would make assaulting officers a federal crime…while simultaneously yelling into the microphone he “backs the blue”.
